This is one of those films that could’ve been an epic saga or series. We could’ve witnessed the next best thing since Star Wars. It had every potential to have the suspense and longevity of Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately it won’t be any of those things. The visual effects, the overall storyline and even the characters were amazing and beautiful, but the whole thing was rushed with little detail or explanation. It could’ve easily been 3 films (at least).
1. The set- up, the background, the history of the rivalries
2. The character integration - why are they tied into this
3. The big battle
I don’t think I’ll put this on my must watch 20,000 times list like LOTR, until it’s released as described above.
